I totally get your frustration with the things you listed. I have a SWLE and in my case, I want to strangle Yoda every time I drain the ball. You can't shut him up even by cancelling the bonus display with the flippers. And the death star shot is a bitch. The LE is a ripoff and yes...it should come with a shaker AND their version of Invisiglass (as well as some other stuff). Will I buy another one? Not sure. There's only one theme that would make me cough up LE money.
Now let me play devil's advocate...
Do you have death star rejects? That's an issue that's easily tweaked. When you get it right, it's like butter. 
It's a hard shot, but it should be. It's crucial to a few of the biggest goals in the game. On GOT, the hardest shot is the dragon shot (or Castle Black shot on the premium/LE). Again...if you want to take down the Targaryens, you've gotta master that shot. It's the whole Steve Ritchie "play better" thing, but it IS frustrating.
The code is still .89, so I'm hoping there are additional callouts. But callouts on any game get repetitive after a while. People get tired of the redneck callouts on AFM, and that's considered one of the greats. You hit a switch, the programming's going to play the predetermined callout. There's no way that can't get stale after a while.
Also, I get the feeling they paid an assload for the license on SW. They were probably bidding against JJP and had to cough up a bundle. With that said, the design of the game doesn't leave much room to put a bunch of plastics and toys in there. Where would you put it with a ball whizzing around that loop? It's easier on the pro. I'm trying to add stuff and can't find safe places to mount it.
So I'm with you on about 80% of your post!
